The contrast on this is difficult to see, but hopefully, you can help me. A web search for Ho Shin turned up next to nothing.

Just a bunch of not-so-cute flowers on this bag. Seems like it would be a feminine hygiene bag, but the construction is definitely that of a sick-bag.

A psychedelic spinny graces this bag, but no other clues to its origin.

Looks like an old ANA, especially since someone wrote 'Japan' on it, but it's hard to tell.

No need to throw up when you smoothly sail through laminar air just above the violent nimbus thunderheads. By the way, 'schutzfolie abziehen' means 'protective plastic film take off', which is actually pretty descriptive.

I really love this bag. Just paragraphs of instructions. Makes great bathroom reading! Obviously a sea sicknessbag of some sort. Can you identify it?

Dutchman Marco Budding still can't identify the bag, but he does not that "the first language on the bag is Dutch. The text in Dutch is exactly the same as the English text."

The print on the botom is in German, so it must be printed there. (There is a slight misspelling also, the Dutch word for 'thank you' is 'dankuwel' and not 'Dank'.)

This Sea Sickness Bag looks a lot like Canarias, but I have no other information about it. Can you provide the missing pieces?

Excellent bag with a duck on it throwing out trash.

This bag was obtained off of a pre-merger US Air / American Airlines flight. It says "Please Don't place used bag in the seat pocket. Notify a flight attendant for disposal."

Generic looking. Bag seems to indicate that after you throw up, you disappear!

Excellent old French bag with a huge flower like monstrosity that's oddly compelling.

Excellent old French bag with a not-quite-perfect English translation.

Either Uta Pippig has her own barf bag, or the University of Texas at Arlington does. The bag tries so hard to please. If you don't feel comfortable -- call the hostess. If you're claustrophobic -- no scratch that -- if you worry about claustrophobia -- call your hostess! She's apparently omnipotent. One other note. It appears the bag has a progress bar on the bottom that has not quite completed its download.

Also note, Morquin-Muguet Manufacturer

An enormous old and rare bag from UTA. I'm really just guessing on the date of issue.

Very similar to its 1969 predecessor except the airplane has changed ... it has a different set of tail fins. Also, the stars in the background of UTA logo have disappeared.

This bag is voted most likely to have been designed by an etch-a-sketch. Looks like it's covered in pubic hair, kind of.
